Schmaltz

Nostalgia, he knocked today

Digging deep, he finds a way

The song we sang, it found the wind

Reminded me how long it's been

 

Our fire slowly turned to ash

A perfect storm that couldn't last

And all the ink drained from my pen

A poem without proper end

 

I know you miss the scars I made

You cried when they began to fade

You sing our song still, to the wind

And hope it brings me back again
